    Looking for ideas on what to buy, have to buy a present that would suit both man or woman age 18-65. Has anyone got an specific ideas for a funny present that I could buybin Dublin over the weekend?

    @ mods : Feel free to move to Christmas forum if you think it would be more suited there.

    Im assuming this is some sort of Kris Kringle gift, considering you don't know if its for a man or woman? Is booze allowed?

    Try Tiger shop on Nassau Street or Dun Laoghaire

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Yes its kris kindle of sorts. Might go down the alcohol route if I can't find anything else. Had a look in tiger but couldn't see anything I thought was appropriate.

    I thought the whole idea of it was that you knew who you had to buy for but those receiving the gift didn't know who got them the present? :confused:

    From your OP it's like the other way round, you're just buying something with no idea who it's for

    Not sure what the name of it is, there's a group of us at work and we all have to buy a present, then they will all be put in a Santa sack and then we'll each pick a present out.

    Finding a present to suit a man or a woman aged 18-65 is not possible. Only options are booze (maybe) or a book voucher perhaps.

    Tesco Off Licence are doing an offer on Bailey's 70cl for only €12 at the moment. Was just in there. Could get that plus a few sweets and a nice gift wrapping in the Euroshop and you'll be sorted. :)

    Or perhaps get a nice bag of coffee beans along with the Bailey's and they could make a nice warm Bailey's coffee for themselves at home. I'd be thrilled with a gift like that tbh. I'm a man of simple pleasures however :D
